POLITICAL NOTES.

Gen. W. H. F. Lee. Mr.. Barbour's
successor in Congress, says tbs most
prominent names he has heard for Senator
from Virginia to succeed Mr.. RlddIeber-
ger, are John s. Barbour. Gov. Fitzhugh
Lee, John Goode and Lt.-Gov. John e.
Massey, and that all of them have warm
friends Hon. John W. Daniel expresses
the opinion that John S. Barbour has the
Inside track.
The three candidates for the Governor
ship of Ohio-Messrs. Foraker, Powell,
and Sharpe, Republican, Democrat. and
Prohibitionist respectively are all Metho-
dists.
Since 1916 only two men have represent
ed Culpeper county in the House of Dele
gates who were not lawyers.
Jefferson Davis and Thomas L. Cling
man. of North Carolina, are the only ex-
Senators now living of all the Southern
members of that body who, in July, 1861,
we're expelled from the United States
Senate for having left their seats and gone
over to the Confederacy.
VIM. F. Drinkard, the editor of the
Richmond Dispatch" told a capital
story at the Roanoke hotel to crowd the
night before the convention. All the
prominent politicians noted it as some
thing good to work into their speeches the
next day. but the Hon. John T. Harris
got the start of them and told it in way
Int hyo,, p,+ ho
Chairman Barbour has called the Dem
ocratic State Central Committee to meet
on August 23d to arrange the campaign.
Mr.. B. is now taking rest at the White
Sulphur.
1t is rumored that ex-Mayor CORTLAND
Ell. Smith, of Alexandria. an anti-Cleve-
land Democrat, will run as an indepen-
dant Democrat against ex-Speaker Chas.
E. Stuart, for the House Of Delegates from
Alexandria city and county.
Gen. Clinton B. Fisk, the well known
New jersey Prohibitionist, says to an in
teryiewer: ut will be impossible to defeat
Grover Cleveland in the next campaign,
and it makes no difference whom the Re-
publicans may put UP against him, be it
Blaine or Sherman"
The fact that there was colored dele
gate in the Democratic Convention at
Roanoke seems to give the N. Y. Tribune
grave trouble.

THEY CAN'T SHAKE HIM.

The recent manifesto of Gen. Malone
(which we shall notice at length here
artery in effect representing. himself as
the Republican party of Virginia, and
claiming nearly everything that has been
done for Virginia by Congress as his work
and his holding conference of the
prominent Republicans of the State at his
house III Petersburg a'few days ago. pre-
paratory to his taking personal charge OF
the campaign. have made unmistakable
the fact that the Republican issue, at
least, this fall is the return of Malone to
the Senate. This means sure defeat to
the Republican party. Our Republican
contemporary, the Valley VaTqinian. keenly
appreciates this. 1t says that the Demo
Gratis have raised the ''senseIess cry" of
'DoWn with Mahone;" but it thinks this
weapon may be yet snatched from them
and yesterday suggested in double
loaded editorial that every Republican and
Independent (italics ours) candidate for
the legislature shall announce that 'he
aoiW enter no Senatorial cdascats.'' This is
rather change of front for party whose
candidates for the nomination to the leg
islature were once all pledged IN Advance to
abide by a caucus before they could get the
support of the party. However, the times
change and Republican lodges must
change with them.
But as disinterested spectator of this
fight in the Republican party, we can give
the Republican and Independent candi-
dates advice. which they will find of much
more practical value than the Vsrgdnl0a's.
Any Republican who announces in good
caucus in the legislature will never reach
that legislature, even though ne run
in Republican county. 1t is no use
kicking; Malone has already taken charge
of the party for this campaign and will see
that those who are not his friends do not
reach the goal. AS for the Independents,
independent Democrats of course), they
will not receive the Republican vote in
Democratic counties. e0ithoat an under-
standing aDith Gen. Mahone's friends IN
their county. and they will find this to be
true. No Independent Democrat that
runs in Augusta county, for instance. will
get the Republican vote unless he has
the endorsement of Col. VIM. E. Craig,
Col. S. Brown Allen and similar loyal
friends of Malone. 1t is pretty bad fix
all around for both Republican and indie
pendent candidates in Virgil MIA, but they
had as we'll look it squarely in the face.
Gen. Malone is in the saddle in the Re-
publican party, and candidates who run
on the support of that party must take
him Or stay at home.

Without answering, she at once demanded
''What do you think these letter carriers

what the letter carriers are doing except
delivering the mails; but as my wife's

great crime, 1 yentured to ask if they

daughter has an admirer who is spending
his vacation at the fashionable watering
place of Guily's Cross Roads. It is, I
apprehend, select summer resort, select

every day of the week, and has been doing
SO for weeks, and as our girl gets very
red in the face when each letter is handed
her, the old carrier, who in his day has
doubtless done something of that sort him

THE IRA YELLING BALLOT
PRIMARY,

The Democratic County Committee
meets tomorrow under the call of Judge
W. A. Hudson, Chairman, to organize,

members for the House OF Delegates
From the great success last spring
which attended the travelling ballot
box, which the last County Com
mittee adopted on motion of Capt. g..
Julian Pratt, member from South River,
it would seem the part of wisdom to adopt
it again. No system used formerly-con
